The Supreme Court today ruled that if not enough candidates qualify through the CETs, private engineering colleges can fill the vacancies by admitting students on the basis of their plus-two marksheets.

This opens the door even for students who haven't appeared for the entrance test. The Supreme Court today ruled that if not enough candidates qualify through the CETs, private engineering colleges can fill the vacancies by admitting students on the basis of their plus-two marksheets. This opens the door even for students who haven't appeared for the entrance test.

The court ruling applies "for this year alone". One reason why engineering colleges struggle to fill seats is that many candidates, after clearing their state's CET, opt out if they do not get the college or subject of their choice.

Another main reason that so many seats go vacant is the sprouting of substandard private engineering colleges.
